Result overview

Inconclusive
The analyst should attempt subjective species identification at the genus level.
Reasoning - Flag 1B: 2-3 candidate species matched with high stringency (identity ≥ 98.5%).

Preliminary morphology ID confirmed NA

Inconclusive taxonomic identity (Flag 1B)

Taxa of interest ruled out False

Flag 2A: Taxon of interest NOT detected

Flag 5.1NA: Assessment of related species is only possible for taxa at rank genus/species

Flag 5.2NA: Assessment of related species is only possible for taxa at rank genus/species

Analyst evaluation

Identification of candidate species

Flag 1B: The analyst should attempt subjective species identification at the genus level
2-3 candidate species matched with high stringency (identity ≥ 98.5%)

Candidate hits must meet ONE of these criteria:

Minimum alignment length 400bp
Minimum query coverage 85.0%

Candidate hits are then classified as follows:

Classification Alignment identity Number of hits Number of species
STRONG MATCH ≥ 98.5% 34 2
MODERATE MATCH ≥ 93.5% NA NA
NO MATCH < 93.5%

Hits per candidate species (top 10 candidates only)

Species Hits Identity E-value
Euchrysops cnejus 33 100.0% 0.0
Lycaenidae sp. SSG-2014a 1 99.8% 0.0

Analyst evaluation

Taxa of interest

This sections shows the taxa of interest specified by the submitter. Each of these taxa has been cross-referenced against the candidate species to determine if they might match the taxonomic identity of the sample. A blank row indicates a TOI that did not match any candidate species, meaning that it is unlikely that the sample matches that TOI.

Taxon of interest Match rank Match taxon Match species Match accession Match identity
Chilades pandava - - - - -

See the Database coverage section to see database coverage for taxa of interest.

Reference sequence source diversity

This analysis evaluates how many independent sources have contributed to reference sequences for each candidate species. This provides a measure of confidence in the taxonomic annotation of references sequences. A sequence that has been annotated by multiple independent sources is more likely to have a correct taxonomic annotation.

Analyst evaluation

Independent sources

Flag 4A: Reference sequences are from diverse sources and therefore likely to be reliable
Reasoning: Matching sequence records for this species are from >5 independent sources (found 12 sources)

12 Independent Sources

The matching reference sequences for this species have been annotated by 12 independent source(s). A source is considered independent if the author list or publication title is distinct.

Flag 4B: Reference sequence sources lack diversity and may therefore be unreliable
Reasoning: Matching sequence records for this species have only 1-5 independent sources (found 1 sources)

1 Independent Source

The matching reference sequences for this species have been annotated by 1 independent source(s). A source is considered independent if the author list or publication title is distinct.

Database coverage of target taxa

The target taxa include candidate species, the preliminary morphology ID, and any taxa of interest provided by the submitter. Each of these taxa are independently evaluated against the reference database to determine whether sufficient reference data exists to support identification of the target taxon. Insufficient coverage of a taxon can result in that taxon not be correctly identified as the taxonomic identity of the sample. For example, if the sample is Homo sapiens, but Homo sapiens sequences are not included in the reference database, the analysis will be unable to identity Homo sapiens as the correct taxonomic identity, and will most likely assign the closest relative with reference data as the taxonomic identity.

Analyst evaluation

Database coverage

Flag 5.2C: The database has poor support for species in this genus
Reasoning: ≤10% of taxon have reference sequence(s) at the given locus


Database coverage of Euchrysops cnejus

Intraspecies diversity

This section provides a phylogeny of the candidate reference sequences. The analyst can use this to make a subjective observation on how well the reference sequences are able to distinguish between species. If the phylogeny shows distinct clades for each species, we can be confident that the molecular data are capable of distinguishing between those species. However, if the phylogeny shows overlap between species, this reduces the capacity of the molecular data to confidently distinguish between those species. In some cases, we may see the query sequence falling outside of the adjacent species' clades, which indicates that our query species is not represented in the reference database, which could indicate a rare or novel species.
